http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/02/politics/donald-trump-jeb-bush-spanish/Washington (CNN)Donald Trump took a jab Wednesday at Jeb Bush for using Spanish to dismiss the mogul's conservative credibility.
"I like Jeb," Trump told Breitbart News. "He's a nice man. But he should really set the example by speaking English while in the United States."
Trump was referring to the former Florida governor's comments to reporters on Tuesday about Trump's policies.
"El hombre no es conservador," Bush said, which translates to, "This man is not a conservative."

Unfortunately, ethnocentrism like this really plays well among the Conservative base.
